I know this has been discussed before, but I caught a glimpse of the label inside POTUS’s jacket. It’s defintely Brioni. Is it their custom to personalize the label?



P.s. I purposely posted in the interchange as I’m sure the tone will quickly devolve.

I wonder if he gets his via EBay! :icon_scratch:

I'm not a Brioni fellow but all of my brand new Oxxford highest quality suits and jackets were purchased at a fraction of retail on "The Bay."

Good insight in posting to The Interchange. Likely to deteriorate quickly,....

Why should you care about any of this? Because like it or not, you can tell a lot about someone by the way they dress and how much effort they put into it. For Trump, it's not a stretch to say that he isn't detail-oriented, based solely on how he presents himself.

I don't buy for one minute that his look isn't highly calculated and that he doesn't pay a great deal of attention to the details.

This is all intentional and he's been doing it for decades.

It's like the way he shakes hands with people.

It's a power thing: I'm the boss. I'm in charge. I'm rich. I don't care* what you think because I don't have to! Eff you!

* Even though he very much does.

It's amazing how when someone is either disliked or it's deemed safe to critique every aspect of his appearance and dress how nit picky these people can get.

BHO habitually looked terrible in formal wear though I don't recall the same level of psychoanalysis.

I think this is just Trumps way of saying F you to everyone. "I wear custom made suits that cost $8000 and don't care how they fit."

Or it's because he doesn't know how a suit should fit. I have no doubt that he has rack upon rack of the finest Brioni navy blue suits, but he looks like a slob (the tie that hangs down long enough to cover the real Don jr doesn't help either). Politics aside, dude doesn't know how to dress.

I can not argue with that. It's the psychoanalyzing that makes me laugh.

An interesting observation. And I agree.

Psycho-babble IMO.

Who can say about the personalities involved? Especially when we're talking about our uber-extreme, completely out of touch career politicians,....

I will certainly agree that one can judge little from dress.

It's like those ridiculous posts around here from time to time asserting that trad style somehow conflates with superior morality, or that being well-dressed somehow connotes a better person. There's really no relationship whatsoever between "dress" and "character".

(Actually, my subjective experience is that very well dressed men tend to be of somewhat *lesser* character; some of the worst people I've known have dressed very well.)

Well, he got fat; many men who are trim in their youth have difficulty making the transition to, er, greater girth.

There *are* very natty men of heft (I believe Flanderian has a thread on the topic), but *in general*, fat men tend to look like slobs. Trump falls into this latter category.
